Played a live tournament at the weekend. Blinds 100 - 200. In BB with Q3, two limpers, UTG & mid-position. Flop Q93, two hearts. I bet 600 and both called. Turn J, still two hearts. I bet 1200; UTG called and mid dropped in a 1000 chip and two 500 chips. The dealer said that was a raise, the player said he meant to call but then went along with the ruling and put in another 400 for a min raise. The dealer came back to me for another 1200 and the raiser apologetically said "its just another 1200", inviting me to put it in. I believed that he had not done it deliberately and wasn"t pulling a number.
By now I was certain that I was currently winning. I thought that both of the other players had shown weakness and probably had draws or weakish improvable hands that they wanted to hang in with. I reraised all-in on this draw-heavy board, which was a further 3200 on top of his 1200. UTG folded; mid-position tanked for ages and eventually made the call with K9. He missed his 9 outs on the river and I made a large increase in my chips. UTG told me he had AQ, but that seems pretty unlikely.
At the time I was pleased with the outcome, but afterwards I wondered whether taking advantage of a player"s mistake like that was bad table etiquette and might have gone down badly in other places. I wouldn"t really want to do that but even less would I want to be too nice to my opponents and assist them in outdrawing me. No-one on the table said anything adverse regarding what I had done. Was it angle-shooting or acceptable play?
